I feel I should start this with, "Perry, we've had a few disagreements in the past," but that seems to be what everyone is saying to me. Don't want to overuse it. Am I really that cantankerous? Oh well, maybe time again for some self evaluation...

I had those same thoughts. So utterly full of anger. I can only imagine what demons are hiding in that mind.
